What is Santa Company?
Santa Company is an international large company that consists of three departments: Santa Dept., Reindeer Dept. and Gift department.
Except during Christmas season, Santa Dept. protects the safety of residences as the largest home-security organization in the world. It might be easier for you to imagine Santa Dept. is like ADT. Its workers, Santa Clauses, normally secure the safety of each home, so they can sneak into houses and know the shortest routes to the children's rooms. Of course, they do that only when they receive requests from parents.
Reindeer Dept. usually breeds and educates reindeers. Also it provides navigation services. It's like Garmin, I guess. It navigates on a daily basis so that it can take Santa Clauses to their destination for without any trouble.
Gift Dept. is in charge of product sales and delivery business. More simply put, it's like Amazon. It has giant warehouses and sells various toys, so it can easily prepare, pack, and deliver gifts during Christmas season. It provides delivery of Christmas gifts only when it receives the requests from parents.
And only once a year, these three departments work together and use their expertise to safely deliver Christmas gifts on Christmas Eve!
Noel is a girl who has just joined a mysterious company, Santa Company. She takes an exam to be an official tonttu who assists Santa Clauses.
In such a big moment, a letter arrives late at Santa Company. When the letter is about to be categorized as "flawed," which means a child can't receive a Christmas gift, Noel, her three friends and one reindeer start off an adventure over the gift.
It's told with a touch of romance and action. It also tells how ordinary people with no particular special powers systemize the job of Santa Clauses to make it fitted in the real world, adding some factors such as relationship between workers and this Christmas gifts delivery business's power of influence and the economic effects.

As the name would suggest, Comic Market, or Comiket, is focused on doujinshi manga. There's also plenty of indie doujin games, enough to fill a half hour preview of original games of Comiket 85, running at Tokyo Big Sight December 29-30, and an hour survey of doujin games in general, meaning lots inspired by the Touhou Project bullet hell shooter phenomenon.

In what has now become a seasonal tradition for artist Mike Maihack, we see how Batgirl and best pal, Supergirl, spend the holidays in these adorable mini-comics.
Kuroko's Basketball is one of the most popular title in Weekly Shonen Jump, but their first stage at Jump-Festa 2013 was forced to be canceled due to the threat against the title and the original author, Tadatoshi Fujimaki. All of the related merchandise was also removed from the event. With the apprehension of the threat suspect, Jump-Festa went on with KuroBasu's first official stage at the event and the voice actors that attended tweeted about the stage with joy.
Taiga Kagami's voice actor, Yuuki Ono posted this photo of his fist with Tetsuya Kuroko's voice actor, Kensho Ono's fist, just like Kagami and Kuroko would do to get pumped for the stage.
Daiki Aomine's voice actor, Junichi Suwabe apologized to his fans that he didn't inform ahead of time that he would guest the stage since it was a surprise, but posted this photo of the hosts of the stage (Kensho and Yuuki) and the surprise guests (Junichi and Hiroshi Kamiya, the voice of Seijuro Akashi on the far left). The second ending theme of anime has been decided to be Kensho's solo debut single. Jump Super Stage featuring Kuroko's Basketball was also streamed online live at Nico Nico Douga.

Revolutionary Girl Utena was one of the first long running anime that I watched when I was younger. Looking back it dealt with some pretty mature concepts and was likely the first show that I saw that had some shoujo ai in it, however I think at the time I was too naive to grasp those ideas. Still it is easy to say that Utena holds a place in my heart as a classic female heroine much like Belldandy, Lina Inverse, or Sailor Moon. Well, maybe not quite as epic as those greats, but she is up there.
Recently at Megahobby Expo we saw that MegaHouse is making a figurine based on Utena, but we didn't have too many photos of her still-unpainted prototype. Fortunately Akibahobby was able to remedy this because they got their hands on a production sample and took a few photos. I suggest you head over to their blog to check out their full gallery.
In brief, the sculpt for Utena is looking very sharp, even uncolored it is clear that there is a lot of detail put into her uniform. Her basic hair sculpt and face are coming along well for this stage of prototype development, too. But we won't really know how epic she is 'til we see her final prototype and paint job. With a little luck that time will come sooner than we think.
Who out here is excited to see Utena? Let us know in the comments.

But one day, a beautiful girl named Chitoge Kirisaki transfers into Raku’s class. Raku’s relationship with Chitoge is less than civil as they hate each other’s existence. But, by a weird turn of events, Raku and Chitoge agree to be fake lovers.

AlainmendezI don't think Kate should watch the trailer.
Hiccup and Toothless are back and badass in the sequel to the wonderful How to Train Your Dragon, and now that there are vikings riding dragons, the stakes have risen considerably. But this trailer also has a pretty big reveal in it, and one that Dreamworks Animation is none too happy about.

They clearly can just change the true names of things merely by writing them down.
Client: I know you’ve asked me not to bother you with my internet problems, but there’s a problem with accessing the site I can’t figure out. I can’t access the internet at all, and I even tried changing my IP.
Me: How did you change the IP?
Client: I crossed out the existing one on the back of the router and wrote a new one in.
What happens when US clothing company The Hundreds takes a tour of Good Smile Company’s offices? We get to see pictures of upcoming figures still in process - figures like Kill la Kill’s Ryuko Matoi, who we’ve only seen promo art of so far. There’s also a Mikasa Ackerman scaled figure, what appears to be a Gilgamesh Nendoroid and something from Little Witch Academia - not to mention Super Sonico’s crazy tan lines.
They also posted pictures of the offices.
And Good Smiles' founder, Aki san (Aki Takanori).
The original post on The Hundreds’ website seems to be down, but you can see most of it on Artisfied.
So what do you think? Are you stoked for Ryuko? Digging Sonico’s tan? Need that Mikasa? Sound off in the comments!
